Below are some things we will not miss from these trips:
Battling traffic (I don't know how people do this every day).
Taking in smells that are rather unpleasant (sorry, pig farmers!). I know I wouldn't mind if they were already turned into bacon :o)
No more fights with her to put on the lotion and saran wrap. Don't let the picture fool you. She looks all happy here, but a few minutes earlier she was doing everything she could to push my hand away.
We can now listen to radio stations other than traffic ones:
And no more dishing out $16 (or if we are lucky, $15) for parking every time.
Having said all this though, we have much to be thankful for. Each and every drive, we arrived at our destinations safely. Although there were accidents that we saw, we were never in a situation that made it take longer than 2 hours. Driving safely can so easily be taken for granted because we spend a lot of time on the roads. We praise God for granting traveling mercies these past months.
Not to do with the trips, but there is another thing we won't have to worry about and that is finding shirts that will fit over her head with the expanders!
There is however one other "no more" that actually makes us sad, not happy. And that is, we no longer will be working with Dr. Tom. You see, Dr. Tom Sitzman came here a year ago from the States to work alongside Dr. Zucker. It was just a one year stint. That year is up! This past Wednesday was the last time we will see him! He is headed back home (Cincinnati) next week and so he will not be there to see the end result of his work next week when Kez has her surgery.
Dr. Tom was amazing!!! He did most of the fill ups with Kez. He took the time to interact with her, as well as answer any of our questions. He is full of empathy, compassion and care.
We thank Dr. Tom for all his work with us and Keziah, and pray that God will continue to bless him in his work down at the Children's Hospital in Cincinnati.
